By the way, we use libevent and are happy with it. It's portable (Linux/Windows) and has very simple interface. I just don't see a need for the stuff you guys are discussing here.

Because we like our libraries spelt in C++ :-).

So do I. Nevertheless, I like to keep simple things simple. I don't feel like I need a glue layer over simple socket and epoll api's. What I might need is an event demultiplexor. Heavy loaded servers I'm working on are event driven. Each event which is not naturally a file descriptor readiness change is transformed in a socket(pair) write, so that it can be demultiplexed by epoll_wait(). Thus, an application just handles events in a loop around epoll_wait(). So, I might need a little syntactic sugar around this stuff, but I have not elaborated my generic implementation yet. -- Maxim Yegorushkin
